Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are looking pretty grim for the Haifa area. There’s a long stretch of nothing, and I mean nothing, that’s worth paddling out for. The whole run is a flat spell with weak, short-period windswell and onshore or cross-shore winds that’ll keep the surface messy.
The only break on the radar is The Reef (Haifa). It’s a beach-and-reef setup, exposed to the west, but the swell is coming from the WNW and W most of the time, which isn’t its optimum. The water temp is 82°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
From Monday 6th July all the way through to Tuesday 21st July, the swell is tiny – mostly between 1ft and 4ft, with periods of 5 to 8 seconds. That’s pure windswell, lacking any punch. The combined energy never gets above 143 (moderate wave energy at best), and for most of the run it’s way below 100 (weak energy). The wind is almost always cross-on or onshore, so the surface will be choppy and bumpy. There’s no day where the wind is truly offshore or glassy.
The standout moment, if you can call it that, is around Sunday 19th July morning. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 143 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore from the WSW, which is still not ideal but cleaner than the rest of the week. The swell is small enough for beginners, but the quality is still poor. Don’t expect much.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing here that’s worth a dedicated session. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent onshore breeze and small waves. Keep your board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
